These are just beyond yum. Especially love the letterpress filters; the halftone is yum too, though.

Interesting overview of how both the print and online versions of the LA Times has changed over the years. Worth taking a peek at.

Politics aside, I think this is a really crappy thing to do as a professional photographer. It makes it clear that you, as a subject, can't trust the photographer (since you agreed to a "hero" shot and ended up looking like you're in Psycho) - in which case, why should any subject ever trust you again? It makes clear that you, as a magazine, can't trust the photographer (since she didn't make clear she'd be coming to the shoot with an agenda, potentially damaging the magazine's trustworthiness). But hey - what do I know?

I think, hands down, creepiest one has to be the one that recommends Lysol as a douche. Yeah, you read that right. [shudder]

Just-a-guy does a cool thing with a corporate product, takes a photo of it, and the thing goes viral - Digg home page, the works. Then, corporation decides they want to use the image in a viral campaign of their own. Refuses to pay a $2k licensing fee to the original photographer, instead "recreates" their own for less, and then forgets about those darned Intertubes... they're so connected! Who knew they'd be found out? Classic corporate idiocy.

Not a huge fan of Pentax, but for a gold-plated camera? Hmm, I think I could be persuaded to give them a try. :) Looks like something from a Bond flick, right?

That's just so cute. LOVE that the pocket is functional to hold pens.

Finally, the answer to "how do I create a private diary online"? Haven't tried it yet, but a great link to keep in mind for non-tech friends and family members who don't know how to secure their own sites.
